Hello. I'm wondering about how I'll be doing rotation and parsing (Webalizer etc.) of some logfiles on my FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE box. Currently, log-rotation is done by newsyslog(8). Is there any easy way I can do log-parsing right after the logfiles have been rotated? Should I comment out the newsyslog-call from /etc/crontab and make my own wrapper-script? Or are there any "hooks" somewhere that will allow me to start some command/script after the logfiles have been rotated? Or should I just make a cronjob that triggers 5 minutes after newsyslog and assume that newsyslog has done its job? I have tried looking through the documentation, but couldn't find any _good_ way of doing this. I could of course just hack something together, but I'm wondering which way people suggest I do it. -- Eivind Olsen eivind@aminor.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
